I am working on a new blog site.  http://www.annettelivingston.wordpress.com  

   The little golden daffodil flowers opened their pretty faces today in my herb garden.  So very fitting... SPRING IS HERE!  I worked for a couple of hours uncovering lots of little plants that were poking their tiny heads through the dead fall leaves that had covered them through the snow and wind and cold of the winter of 2010. 

   Looks like we made it through another winter.  Let us rejoice and be glad in it...

Phiya, you are quick!  I just recently came back to my blog after years of not writing here.  Thanks for putting me on Facebook. 

How exciting watching the opening of the Olympics tonight.  My neighbor and I, while on our morning jog, have enjoyed talking about one day "carrying the torch".  Perhaps, I am carrying the torch in my own way here tonight writing to the whole wide world.  God Bless Us Everyone.

Snow is on the ground, Kitty Cat is in her basket on the table next to me in my chair and all is right with the world.

Almond Apple Compote
Dessert after a long hard day.

Peel two large Granny Smith Apples unless organic then just wash.
Cut in half, then fourths. Remove seeds section. Slice thin.
Put in medium heat skillet with olive oil or sesame oil

covering the bottom or water if can’t have oil.
Treat as stir fry for a few minutes then put top on pan near end of cooking and turn down low.
Cook until desired softness with a pinch of salt per apple.
Mix together in small bowl
1T Sweet White Miso and 4 T’s more or less Maple Syrup

or if preferred Rice Syrup or Barley Malt.
Add and cook into apples for a minute. Remove from flame and add 1 T Almond Butter.
Mix in and dish up. Luscious.
I dream of topping this with Almond cream and a mint leaf.
Never seem to have the time…have strong desire to eat at once.
Trick…prepare the Almond Cream early in the day.
